Christmas shoppers can view exhibits from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays at the Arts Guild’s gallery.

This exhibit includes a variety of small paintings in all subjects, styles and media. Artist prints, note cards, handmade jewelry and selected crafts such as stained-glass objects are also on display. The gallery’s regular exhibit features more than 100 paintings of local scenery, still life and floral subjects if you are looking for a larger piece of original local art.

Several Art Guild members participated in the annual French Food Festival art show in Larose. Myrna Waters received a first and third place in the “Crab”-themed competition. In the professional division, Myrna Waters earned first- and second-place honors in still-life and florals and a first-place finish in animals. Dolores Legendre took best in show and took all places in the landscape and seascape category.

In the non-professional division, Hope Chiasson received first, second and third place in landscapes and seascapes.
